MUNTAZER AL ZAIDI is a name that climbing fast to stand in the same line with Abu Mushab Al Zarqawi, Ayman Az Zawahiri if not Osama Ben Laden.
Throwing shoes to a world leader, is definitely disgusting and embarrassing. But Muntazer as a reporter cant take it anymore. He had no choice. He had only shoes to throw, and yet Bush should thank him for not throwing other than shoes (yes.. that 10 size shoes as you mentioned).
The question should be asked is why he throw his shoes to Bush? The answer is, he threw his shoes to show his anger on what Bush (America) had done to the people of Iraq – the women and the children by killing their husband, father and son.
Though Muntazer missed his target, none of the shoes hit Bush but it has done enough damage to the image of the President of United States of America. His PR has to do something to control the damage.
In Middle Eastern and Indo-Pak regions, hitting someone with shoes is a very embarrassing torture to them. It shows clearly on the day when they brought down the statue of Saddam, they hit the statue with their shoes and sandals. In Pakistan, I saw once, when someone start hitting a suspect with shoes, the others will joint him without much question.
Obama should watch this lesson carefully, the one that Muntazer had taught Bush right infront him. Attacking and destroying other country should not be the foreign policy of US.
Muntazer was reported hurt and beaten while being detained by the Iraqi authority. I believe he was beaten by those bodyguards, yes the failed and slow moving bodyguards, they were not there to protect Bush. I estimated by the time those slow bodyguards reached Bush, should Muntazer have other things to throw, he might have chances to make another two “throwings”. Those bodyguards should be sacked or send them to guard some mental hospital that doesn’t need them to move fast.
Anyhow, please released Muntazer. He was provoked by speech made by Bush. He deserved his freedom.
By the way, Mr. Bush - beside size 10 it was made by Turk.
